If you chose not to install an IID, that would mean you are breaking the law by driving on a suspended license in Texas and violating your court order requiring an ignition interlock. The consequences are costly to your driving record and your wallet.

How would I even get caught driving on a suspended license in Texas?

License plate scanners, in use by most law enforcement agencies, will alert officers that you are driving on a suspended license. Scanners run up to 60 plates per minute and provide access to your entire driving history. It’s best not to take the risk.   

There’s also the possibility of getting pulled over for some other minor infraction and as soon as the officer runs your license, the suspension will pop up. You’ll find yourself dealing with the ramifications of driving on a suspended license and now you have a criminal record. Avoid all this by following the law and having an ignition interlock installed. 

What happens when I get caught driving on a suspended license in Texas?

• jail time up to 180 days (lost work or lost job) 
• Immediate vehicle impoundment (fees to tow, store, and release the vehicle are typically in the hundreds of dollars)
• up to $500 fine
